Result in Milwaukee.


| MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 5.-The politi-
cal campaign which eliminated today has
been remarkable one. The contest has
been between the Fusion-Democrat and
Republican parties and the Peoples Labor
party, for circuit and superior court Judges
and nd representatives in the common council.
Inc only State election today was for AS
soclate Judge of the Supreme Court. Har-
| low .: Orton, (Dem.) was reelected without
| opposition. Milwaukee county voted on
Judge of the Circuit and Judge of the Su-
perlor Court. The Democrats and Republi-
cans placed a fusion ticket in the field
against the Labor party
AT 10 o'clock tonight, % city precincts
nave Deen heard from, giving ID. ii. johnson
lDem.) and George II. Neyes (Rep), the fu-
sion Judicial candidates, lao majority over
city precincts will probably. neutralize this
majority, but seven towns of the county will
go strongly for the fusion candidates, who
are probably elected by 1000 majority. The
Labor party will elect about half the alder
men and one-third of the supervisors. Both
bodies will probably be Democratic, as two
thirds of the aldermen hold over.
In many cities of the State, by precOncert-
ed arrangement, ladies in bodies went to the
polls and offered to vote, claiming to be enti-
tied to do so by the inference conveyed by a
recently enacted law allowing women to vote
in school affairs. In Sturgeon Bay, 142 of
them voted, but elsewhere their ballots were
refused
Some OF the Women Voted In Kansas
KANSAS Cry, April Scattering returns
from Kansas indicate that the municipal
elections in general passed off quietly, and
as far as can now be judged the adoption of
woman suffrage does not work a great
change in the character of the results, In
some cities and towns the women availed
themselves quite generally of their newly
acquired privilege. The effect of the expert
ment can not be OWNED as yet. The issues
involved, however, are local. At several
points women were elected to membership
on school boards.
The Labor Vote Not Heavy in st

heavy as expected.
